Industrial RS-232/422/485 to Fiber Optic Media Converter

Enhance your industrial communication systems with this high-performance RS-232/422/485 to single-mode fiber optic media converter. Designed for long-distance data transmission and harsh environments, this rugged solution offers reliable, interference-free connectivity for mission-critical applications.

Reliable Long-Distance Data Transmission

This fiber optic media converter extends serial communication up to 40 km over single-mode fiber (TCF-142-S) and up to 5 km over multi-mode fiber (TCF-142-M). Ideal for factory automation, SCADA systems, and remote monitoring setups, it ensures stable and secure data exchange even in noisy or electromagnetic environments.

Key Features

  • Supports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 serial interfaces
  • Fiber ring and point-to-point transmission for enhanced network redundancy
  • Single-mode support up to 40 km, multi-mode support up to 5 km
  • Minimizes signal degradation and electromagnetic interference
  • Protection against electrical surges and chemical corrosion in industrial environments
  • High-speed transmission with support for baudrates up to 921.6 kbps
  • Durable ST fiber connector for secure fiber connections
  • Wide temperature range (-40 to 75°C) for reliable performance in extreme conditions

Perfect for Harsh Industrial Environments

Engineered for rugged applications, this serial-to-fiber converter is suitable for outdoor systems, oil and gas facilities, power substations, and other critical infrastructure deployments requiring reliable serial communication over extended distances.

Upgrade your industrial serial communication today with this advanced RS-232/422/485 to fiber optic media converter featuring fiber ring support, ST connector interface, and dependable performance in extreme temperatures.
